So what else do you want ?This is a bit of an over-simplification. Outside of per-dir and PT your substitution is generally treated as a filesystem path. As a convenience, when the top-level directory of your substitution doesn't exist in the filesystem mod_rewrite prefixes the entire thing with the current DocumentRoot on its way out. This impacts rewriting to e.g. htdocs/{etc,lib,usr,home,var}, tilde-expansion, or other mappers like mod_alias (bringing us back to PT). This is why you're able to break out of your DocumentRoot and Aliases with the substitution (and adding the corresponding <Directory>.... Allow ... block) It's trickier with the PT flag (or per-dir, where PT is implicit), but I think it is fair to say that it's generally treated as a URL in that context.
Ricardo, take note.
